The IDF announced Friday morning that its soldiers, acting on intelligence from the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), apprehended eight wanted individuals in the village of Mukhmas in the Binyamin region. The suspects are accused of chasing and assaulting a group of Israeli civilians who entered the village on Thursday. The incident sparked a large-scale search and a brief kidnapping alert, which was later ruled out after the civilians were located safely, as The Zioneer reported Thursday evening. The eight suspects were transferred to security forces for further questioning. No further details on the civilians' condition or the suspects' identities have been released.
